You are very damning of those who have had the initiative to go and get qualified.
I've got no issue with those that go out and get the blue book. I do have a big issue with those on untagged schemes that are surprised not to find an airline job at the end of it.
I think in the wider economy this risk-taking is called "entrepreneurship".
Disagree. Entrepreneurs talk calculated risks and understand risk & reward.
Many seem to go for this expensive option because "they have heard that this is what BA likes
If someone's going down the integrated route on the
sole basis that BA might want a SSP at the end of it, more foul them.
The point I'm making, rich or not, fATPL or not, they should look at aptitude if they're willing to train up people to become pilots, like they used to do before
They are exactly looking for that aptitude - rich or not - with the BA scheme. This is in stark contrast to EZY MPL, flybe etc etc.
GRICH - If you know of a better scheme right now, please let everyone know, as this is as good as it gets by a country mile.
